Babar Shaikh & Faraz Anwer.Unleashing the dark symphonies since themacabre year of 1995, and known by thelegions to be the originators (Soulweaver) of the entire extreme (Death/Black) MetalMovement in the regions of Pakistan. DUSKput forth our first demo "CASKETIZE" in June1995... Mainly in the vein of Raw/ChaoticDeath Black Metal, this creation got "DUSK". Our initial recognisation as an Asian Metal Band...Dubbed as "South Asia's heaviest export" by Greek Zine, M.Invader '96."CASKETIZE" opened the black doors for thehorde... The Second Revelation, "WHEREDREAMS BLEED" was embraced and releasedupon the deathly atmosphere of earth, in aform of a double runner promo-tape in themiddle months of 1996. However by the timeof recording, expression had become rathergrim, as metal for dusk took directiontowards the eternal fortress of Gothic/DoomMetal...... Behold Anno Satanas 33 (1999),when the eternal expression, took birth intoyet another form, (Diversified Symphonic Art)was the moniker given to categorize thestyle of metal, when DUSK released theirdebut full length album at the home of HIBERICA RECORDS (Portugal) titled "MYINFINITE NATURE ALONE".
